Your expert guide to Left 4 Dead 2's Alpine Creek. Learn enemy spawns, item locations, and how to survive the forest and chasm.

Alright, so you've landed in Alpine Creek. This one's pretty chill on the Easy difficulty, set in the daytime with no major Crescendo Events to worry about. Keep an eye out though, because there are Uncommon Infected lurking, and a unique Bunker Hatch event can pop off. When you spawn, you'll be in the middle of a forest, chilling by the riverbed rocks. Weapons are kinda sparse here, so grab what you can from the Safe Room – usually a Submachine Gun, Pump Shotgun, a few Melee Weapons, and some Health Kits.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    First things first, grab those starting supplies. Then, follow the river downstream, ducking under the rocks. You'll hit a dead end, but don't sweat it. Look to your left, up on the ridge – there's a house built on shaky supports. Be super careful here; Special Infected love to hang out on the ridges, so keep your aim steady. Head up the stairs into the shack. Inside, you'll find more Pistols and an Ammo Cache, plus other useful stuff.
  2. 2
    Once you've looted the shack, climb the left ridge and make your way down towards the lower ground. You'll see two houses ahead. The one on the left is worth checking out – it's got another Ammo Cache and a Hunting Rifle. After you're done there, head into the second house. Search it thoroughly, and then find a way past it. You can either hop through a window or just go around the building.
  3. 3
    Now, you'll come up to a chasm. The only way across is a fallen tree trunk. Take your time and walk carefully over it. Just beyond that, you'll see a Hatch – that's your ticket to the Safe Room!
Tips
  • Weapons are limited early on, so conserve your ammo and prioritize headshots.
  • Watch the ridges for Special Infected – they have a height advantage and can catch you off guard.
  • The house on the first ridge is a good spot to find extra pistols and an ammo cache, so don't skip it.
  • The tree stem crossing the chasm requires careful movement; don't rush it, or you might fall.

Safe Room Inventory: Submachine Gun, Pump Shotgun, 4 Melee Weapons, 4 Health Kits.
